Installing Windows 7?

When your kids are using a PC, you're probably worried about how much time they spend, and what kind of games they're playing. With Parental Controls in Windows 7, it's easy to supervise each of your kid's PC use without having to peek over their shoulders.

For starters, you can decide what times of the day are right for your children and what programs they can use. And if you have games on the computer, it's really easy to decide what games your kids can play based on the game's ratings.

With the Parental Controls in Windows Media Center oo (available in Windows 7 Home Premium and above), you can also block access to objectionable TV shows and movies.
